Trickett came to Coastal after serving one season at South Florida as the Bulls' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2022.
 
In his lone season at USF in 2022, Trickett orchestrated major improvements in total offense (350.9 to 390.8 ypg), rushing offense (158.5 to 197.9 ypg), scoring offense (23.2 to 28.0 ppg), third down conversions (34.3 to 39.1 percent), red zone conversions (76.7 to 85.1 percent), pass efficiency (107.56 to 130.22), passing touchdowns (6 to 18), 100-yard rushers (3 to 10), and explosive plays (83 to 96) from 2021.
 
The Bulls posted seven 200-yard rushing games on the year and 25 rushing touchdowns for the second-straight season. The South Florida rushing offense ranked 28th nationally with an average of 197.9 ypg, posted 5.4 yards per carry, and averaged 6.1 yards per play, which all rank in the top five of the Bulls' single-season record book.

He ventured to South Florida after serving three seasons on Neal Brown's staff at his alma mater West Virginia as the inside receivers and tight ends coach from 2019-21. There, he helped West Virginia have one of the most improved offenses in the nation during the 2020 season.

Trickett previously served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Georgia State for two seasons from 2017-18. Trickett's offense established multiple school records en route to the Panthers posting a record seven wins and earning the first bowl game victory in school history.

The Lobos moved up to fourth in the Mountain West in total offense and improved from 10th to fourth in passing offense. The Lobo offensive unit also improved in passing efficiency, first downs, third down conversion percentage, total third downs made, and total turnovers, as UNM committed just nine in 2020 after a whopping 19 in 2019.
 
Prior to his return to New Mexico, Warehime was with Beck at Texas under Tom Herman for three seasons, coaching the offensive line in 2017, tight ends in 2018, and then adding special team's coordinator in 2019.
 
Warehime followed Coach Herman to Texas from Houston, coaching the offensive line for the Cougars from 2015-16.
 
In his second season with the Cougars in 2016, Warehime helped UH to a 9-3 record. UH was the only program to defeat two top-five teams on the season and joined Alabama as one of only two programs nationally to beat two top-10 teams by double digits. The Cougars' offense finished the regular season ranked ninth in first downs, 15th in third-down conversions, 21st in scoring offense, and 36th nationally in total offense in during the regular season in 2016.

Behind Warehime's offensive line unit, the Cougar's offense finished the regular season ranked 13th nationally in rushing offense with 235.8 yards per game.
 
Warehime joined the Houston staff in 2015 after three seasons with New Mexico (2012-14) as the Lobos' tight ends coach, adding the title of run-game coordinator in his final season.

During his first season in Albuquerque in 2012, Warehime helped New Mexico become one of the most improved rushing attacks in the country. After finishing 103rd in the nation in rushing in 2011, the Lobos finished fifth in 2012, averaging over 300 yards per game.
 
Prior to his time at UNM, Warehime spent two seasons as the offensive line coach at Sam Houston State from 2010-11. In 2011, the Bearkats featured the No. 6 rushing offense in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) en route to the FCS National Championship Game.

While working with Beck at NC State over each of the last three seasons (2020-22), he helped lead the Wolfpack to three-consecutive eight-plus win seasons, three-straight bowl appearances, and a combined record of 25-12.

In each of his last two seasons in Raleigh, N.C., over 2021-22, NC State's offense was ranked in the top half of the highly-touted Atlantic Coastal Conference (ACC) in scoring offense, total offense, and passing offense, while continuing to set program records along the way.
